Product Information
**INDIE BESTSELLER** A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2023 by The Millions * B&N Best Books of 2023 * "Shaped by intellectual rigor and artistic grace ... McDonnell's portrait is vibrant, fluent, sensitive, and clarifying." -- Booklist, starred review An intimate exploration of the life, craft, and legacy of one of the most revered and influential writers, an artist who continues to inspire fans and creatives to cultivate practices of deep attention, rigorous interrogation and beautiful style. Joan Didion was a writer's writer; not only a groundbreaking journalist, essayist, novelist and screenwriter, but a keen observer who honed her sights on life's telling details. Her insights continue to influence creatives and admirers, encouraging them to become close observers of the world, unsentimental critics, and meticulous stylists. An antidote to a global view that narrows our vision to the smallest screens, The World According To Joan Didion is a meditation on the people, places, and objects that propelled Didion's prose and an invitation to journalists, storytellers, and life adventurers to "throw themselves into the convulsions of the world," as she once said. Evelyn McDonnell, the acclaimed journalist, essayist, critic, feminist, native Californian, and university professor who regularly teaches Didion's work, is attuned to interpret Didion's vision for readers today. Inspired by Didion's own words--from her works both published and unpublished--and informed by the people who knew Didion and those whose lives she shaped, The World According to Joan Didion is an illustrated journey through her life, tracing the path she carved from Sacramento, Portuguese Bend, Los Angeles, and Malibu to Manhattan, Miami, and Hawaii. McDonnell reveals the world as it was seen through Didion's eyes and explores her work in chapters keyed to the singular physical motifs of her writing: Snake. Typewriter. Hotel. Notebook. Girl. Etc. One of the first books to be published after the revered writer's death in 2021, The World According to Joan Didion is a literary companion for those embarking on new journeys and a guide to innovative ways of being. It will radically transform the way you explore the world, and will help you answer the question as you sit in a café, or on a plane or train, pondering the future: What would Joan Didion have seen? The World According to Joan Didion includes 19 black-and-white illustrations and photos throughout.

Really considerate seller. Ebay goofed on the tracking so she emailed me with a tracking number. Package arrived quickly, safely packaged and in the exact condition she listed. This is a really dependable seller.

First of all, the seller worked with me on the price of two books that I wanted, and had no problem even making this new listing to get the deal done. Shipping was quick & cheap, and the books were individually packaged, wrapped really nicely (kind of like Christmans presents haha). But the books were in the condition described, and overall my experience was perfect in every way. Would definitely purchase from Vaquero Books again, and probably will again soon.
